vtkEnSight6Reader Class Reference

Detailed Description

class to read EnSight6 files

vtkEnSight6Reader is a class to read EnSight6 files into vtk. Because the different parts of the EnSight data can be of various data types, this reader produces multiple outputs, one per part in the input file. All variable information is being stored in field data. The descriptions listed in the case file are used as the array names in the field data. For complex vector variables, the description is appended with _r (for the array of real values) and _i (for the array if imaginary values). Complex scalar variables are stored as a single array with 2 components, real and imaginary, listed in that order.

Warning:

You must manually call Update on this reader and then connect the rest of the pipeline because (due to the nature of the file format) it is not possible to know ahead of time how many outputs you will have or what types they will be. This reader can only handle static EnSight datasets (both static geometry and variables).

Methods invoked by print to print information about the object including superclasses. Typically not called by the user (use Print() instead) but used in the hierarchical print process to combine the output of several classes.

Read scalars per node for this dataset. If an error occurred, 0 is returned; otherwise 1. If there will be more than one component in the scalars array, we assume that 0 is the first component added to the array.

Read scalars per element for this dataset. If an error occurred, 0 is returned; otherwise 1. If there will be more than one component in the scalars array, we assume that 0 is the first component added to the array.
